Grail Kingship Rite

The Grail was the original stag night, a rite of passage that prepares men for partnerships, fatherhood & their sacred role as custodians of Mother Earth.

It does this by assisting men to make the inner shift from knight to king; one who is sacred, sovereign & knows how to use their power wisely, regardless of their age.

The Grail was considered the most holy of rites. It was undertaken by men over the Winter Solstice – the annual dark night of the soul when men are most at risk of illness, injury and even death.

This rite supports men to face the dragon (the shadow feminine within) & transcend their darkest fears to return reborn as the sacred king!

About this Rite of Passage

A rite of passage is a sacred initiation which assists us to transition psychologically & emotionally from one life stage to the next. It does this by providing insight so we can release perspectives that no longer serve us & expand into a greater version of ourselves.

We then emerge stronger, clearer and equipped for our next life chapter. Unlike puberty rites where boys are initiated into manhood by older men, the second rite in a man’s life, the Grail was conducted by a woman…known as the Magdalene, the Lady of the Lake or the High Priestess.

‘Through the goddess, the hero attains mastery over life itself.’

Joseph Campbell

The Role of the Sacred Feminine

IN THE GRAIL RITE

In the ancient world, there was a king who presided over the land & earthly matters & a high priestess who was the spiritual leader of the people. Together they ensured stability & growth on all levels.

When the wisdom of the sacred feminine was dismissed we lost this sacred balance. Previously kings were not considered fit to rule if they did not seek the guidance & initiation of the sacred feminine.

The 5 Gifts Men Receive Through Seeking the Grail

THE MIRRORThe role of the sacred feminine in the Grail rite is to hold up the mirror of his soul so a man can reflect upon what he sees in himself.

THE CUP OF HUMAN KINDNESSThe Lady of the Lake offers Grail knights the cup of self-compassion. This gift awakens their inner sacred feminine, so their heart is open to give & receive love.

EXCALIBUR, THE SWORD OF TRUTHThrough understanding & honoring their inner feminine mystical gifts men receive the sword of truth which cuts through the illusory stories of the mind so they can navigate their way out of the dark labyrinth within & fulfill their highest destiny.

THE TREE OF LIFERepresented by the stag’s horns, the Grail activates the World Tree within a man’s psyche that enables him to journey between the three worlds.

THE CAULDRON OF PLENTYIt is the sacred feminine wisdom teachings of the cycles that demystify a man’s role in the circle of life so he may mature & become a man for all seasons & manifest through planting his intentions in the cosmic womb.

How the Grail Prepares Men for Union & Fulfilling Their Highest Destiny

In the ancient world, noble men weren’t considered fit for the rite of Sacred Union unless they had ‘faced the dragon’. The dragon is the dark feminine within themselves, embodied externally by the High Priestess, known colloquially as the ‘Dragon Woman’. Her role is to confront those willing to seek the Grail with their unconscious fears so they can reclaim their power & not unconsciously sabotage their relationships.

The Grail is the sacred chalice of womb wisdom. Grail knights were the noble seekers of truth who sought the teachings of the sacred feminine so they could be in right relationship with the feminine in themselves, women & the Earth Mother.

Without the Grail men fear their own feminine traits as unacceptable & fear entanglement with women for fear of being destroyed by she who reflects their shadow.

The Grail awakens the lion-hearted hero in the mid-Winter cave who confronts his greatest fears about himself so he can transcend his critical mind & complete his Hero’s Journey by assuming his rightful place as a sacred & sovereign being within the circle of life.

Without This Rite of Passage Men Experience:

Self doubt

Fear of commitment

Self-destructive behaviors & addictions

Dis-empowerment in relationships

Depression, illness, injury & suicide during Autumn / Winter

The Grail Offers Men Of AllAges:

A foundation of true inner power

Deep self-acceptance through greater understanding

The support of authentic brotherhood

Tools to empower every facet of their life

Insight into the feminine internally & externally

Why It’s Time For the Grail To Return

✓ A man who is not in right relationship with his own feminine cannot be in right relationship with women or the Earth Mother

✓ A man will destroy all he seeks to create unless he is willing to face his dark side & integrate his disowned aspects

✓Without this initiation, men struggle to feel whole. So they polarize by seeking to dominate the feminine or by allowing the feminine to dominate them. Neither is a foundation for sustainable relationships….or they avoid relationship completely

✓Without a purpose a man is lost & when a man feels his life is meaningless he is at risk of suicide. Male suicide is at an all time high.

Franz

Franz discovered his soul path during his mid-life crisis that began at age 36 when his marriage ended & he was separated from his three children…events that were compounded by the death of his beloved father a year later. This saw him question his life and his purpose which led him to explore various spiritual practices starting with silent meditation. This expanded his self-awareness and relationship with existence beyond the conditioning he’d received growing up in the Catholic church which had instilled a deep mistrust and anger towards religious institutions.

He was then given sole custody of his three children & had to learn abruptly how to navigate and balance financial pressures with the daily challenges of sole parenthood while residing with his children in Bali, Indonesia and later, California, USA. It was his commitment to his spiritual development that sustained him through this challenging time.

It was also through this experience Franz discovered his passion for community and as a chartered accountant he worked as a consultant actively supporting the inception of intentional communities and a local school in Bali. Motivated by his heart’s desire to support his loved ones he identified his personal contribution to creating a better world lay in his ability to support community building projects and practices at a grassroots level.

This ethos led him to seek out men’s circles and in 2012 he joined MKP (The Mankind Project), a global movement that empowers men of all ages through gatherings in 22 countries worldwide. In 2016 he was initiated into The Mankind Project’s three day intensive in Nevada City, California and has since attended I-Groups around the world. For the past six years he has facilitated men’s circles twice a week in Ubud, Bali. He has also led men’s gatherings in both the USA and Germany. Under the auspice of The Mankind Project he also organised I-Sex workshops to empower men’s authentic sexual expression without shame in Munich, Germany.

Franz is also passionate about providing a framework of support for teenage boys & co-facilitated 19 boys through their welcome to manhood rite of passage initiation at the renowned Green School in Ubud. Franz has dedicated himself to ensuring men & boys have access to these ancient practices that offer practical support to men in a spirit of brotherhood at a time when male suicide is at an all time high. He considers this work supporting men as one of the most important tasks needed in our world today.

His core belief is if we want to change the world we have to start with ourselves…a philosophical outlook that is embodied through the practice of gathering in circle & acknowledging one’s thoughts, words and deeds. His intention is to create a harmonious and joyful world by courageously connecting with people through love and compassion
